Process

I begin by engaging in a detailed discussion with my clients to understand their specific needs. With a broad range of experience across various business functions—such as Supply Chain, Finance, Sales, Operations, and Engineering—I can quickly grasp the requirements of most projects. My experience extends from working with department leaders down to non-technical end-users, enabling me to design simple user interfaces that perform complex, business-specific tasks while maintaining an easy-to-understand user experience.

This initial consultation allows us to brainstorm and outline potential solutions without any obligation to commit. Once we align on the project's requirements, I swiftly draft and prototype concepts. This approach enables clients to visualize the proposed solution early on and provide valuable feedback, ensuring we are on the right path. I prioritize clear communication and regular updates, typically within a few days, so clients are always informed and involved in the development process. This transparency ensures that we are efficiently working towards the correct solution without unnecessary delays.

Upon completing a working prototype, we collaborate to thoroughly test and refine the final product. The tools I develop are fully owned by the client, who is welcome to review the source code and receive comprehensive training on its construction. This ensures long-term support and understanding of the solution provided.
